The Appeal
If you’re after a compact off-roader that can go just about anywhere, the Suzuki SJ410 is a great choice. In fact, they’re so good at what they do, it’s now incredibly tricky to find a low mileage example that hasn’t been run into the ground. This 1986 SJ410 has clearly been looked after exceedingly well over the years as it remains in very good overall condition.
The vendor points out that it benefits from some recent attention including an exterior respray, reupholstered seats and overhauled mechanicals. With just 77,144 kilometres indicated on the odometer and apparently only three previous keepers, this is amongst the smartest Suzuki off-roaders of this vintage you’re likely to encounter.
